I have not used any tricks at all to get it started. what is it doing or "not doing"?
1) does that battery have enough juice?
2) does it turn over? starter okay?
3) Body is negative and the wire to glow plug is positive. do you et any juice when you try to preheat the glow plug?
4) do you have enough fuel? do you have fuel flow?
5) how is the diesel fuel? if old then may be you want to use some fresh fuel.
6) not related tot he starting .. but when you turn the key to glow plug side then do you see alternator and oil pressure to illuminate? that is just to check your circuit on low oil pressure and high temp is wired all right.
7) I hope engine is not locked up. can you pull tractor say in 4th or 3rd gear by towing? I guess you'll know that when you try to pull start it.
8) how did you bring it home? have you bought it yet? how did you load it up on a trailer?
I'd first identify my safeties are working, have fresh fuel, making sure I have fuel flow and then I start getting it to run. make sure have jumper cable at the ready in case battery gets tired.
Let's us know. I'm sure you'll get to run unless had major hidden issues.

P.S .I don't have much flop in the steering wheel but some is not unexpected, range of motion can be changed some on steering tie rod adjustment. Have not gotten in to it deeper but have a chessy
repair manual and can look it up later.
